I was debating between this book and another random-questions-and-answers type of book, and this one won out because of the title. Michael Alvear gives some interesting advice, and at least he's factual, truthful, and consistent with what he says. I also love that he'll bitch at just about anything. I think there was one question that a reader sent in which he actually didn't have anything bitchy to say. It's definitely not a book that someone can agree with everything in it, but that's not to say it's not informative. And at the same time, Alvear allows us not to be so uptight about everything. He adds a sense of humor to even the most tragic of circumstances, and maybe that's something we can all learn to add into our own lives...even if only in very small, incremental doses. But really...he does dish out the dirt. He answers questions about love and sex and drugs in ways others might be too nervous to answer, at least truthfully. Honestly, I'd say pick this book up if you have some burning sex questions that you can't find on the internet already, or if you just really like the title of this book like I did. no reviews | add a review

Written in the early 2000s and firmly addressed to guys in their 20s and 30s on the club and party circuit, so I'm not really the target audience and never was. I found the author's persona as the agony uncle rather grating and couldn't really get that interested in the problems either. ( )
